Awesome day on the White Rim Trail - My husband and I just returned from our full-day Canyonlands White Rim tour with guide Adam. The day went by so quickly, with frequent stops for spectacular views or points of interest. We even saw a herd of nine bighorn sheep! Adam provided us with a very nice picnic lunch (wraps, fresh fruit, an assortment of chips/snacks, and dessert) near the bank of the Colorado River. There were a couple of easy, short, optional hikes that were quite fun, and we had frequent bathroom stops (pit toilets) as needed at various camping sites. Near the end of the day, we ascended the Shaffer Trail, which was incredible, but I wouldn’t want to be in a car on that road with someone who didn’t know what they were doing! Adam made us feel perfectly safe, and he was extremely personable and knowledgeable, entertaining us with stories and jokes throughout the day. We came away with a much better appreciation of the park—it’s SO much more interesting when you get down in there!!

Spectacular Trip - Our guide Cody was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the tour and gave us so much information about the canyon! We had a great lunch and the views were spectacular! He helped me with my fear of going up Shafer Road!

Perfect way to experience Canyonlands National Park - We had a blast on our Canyonlands White Rim Trail ride by 4WD. The driver was very experienced in driving the canyons. He was very informative about the area both historical and natural knowing the names of the different rock formation and plants. He kept us well entertained and made us a delicious lunch!

Do not miss in Moab - Went with our tour guide Charolette to Canyonlands West Rim 4x4 experience. She has over 8 years of experience in The Canyonalnds park. We had a jeep rental but decided to take this guided tour. She took us to places we would not find on our own. She was an expert driver and we felt very safe with her especially on the sullivan trail switchback road!

Unforgettable Day with Navtec in Canyonlands – 10/10 Experience - !We had an incredible day exploring the stunning White Rim Road in Canyonlands with Navtec in Moab, Utah. From start to finish, the experience was top-tier, and that’s all thanks to our amazing guides, Ron and Ben. These two were the perfect combination of knowledgeable, attentive, safe, and incredibly fun. They took the time to share the fascinating geology, history, and unique stories of the Canyonlands area—answering all our questions with passion and patience. You could tell they truly love what they do, and it made the whole day feel even more special. Whether navigating tricky terrain or pointing out hidden gems, Ron and Ben made us feel completely comfortable and engaged. Their kindness, humor, and respect for the land set the tone for an unforgettable adventure. We can’t recommend Navtec enough. If you’re considering a tour in the area—don’t miss this. 10/10, would go again in a heartbeat!

Incredible Day on the White Rim Road!! - My wife and I did this expedition in late October of 2024 and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, everything was perfect. I initially considered renting a 4x4 and driving the road myself. After taking the tour, I'm glad I let the professionals handle it. If you are not an experienced off-road driver, don't do it. Spend your time enjoying the ride and taking in the sights instead. Our guide Seth was friendly, a responsible and highly capable driver, incredibly knowledgeable about the area, a great conversationalist, and more than willing to take as many photos as we might request (hint: It was more than a few!). You will see so much on this tour and the day will just blow by. Some examples: 1. Petroglyphs 2. Jug Handle Arch 3. Thelma & Louise Point 4. Musselman Arch 5. Lathrop Canyon 6. White Rim Road 7. Shafer Trail Road There is SO much to see here, and all of it is beautiful. We took literally hundreds of photos. We even got lucky enough to run into a small group of Bighorn Sheep grazing just beside the road. Even the lunch was fantastic. We had a chicken wrap, which was cold and delicious, along with fruit and a small dessert, next to the Colorado River in Lathrop Canyon. Navtec is very mindful of safety and the needs of passengers. There were plenty of bathroom breaks, and snacks and water were readily available at all times. Our guide Seth was trained in remote medical emergency procedures, and the 4x4 was equipped with spare tire, medical kit and other emergency supplies should we need them (we didn't). We wrapped up the day with a drive up the Shafer Trail Road. You can see this road from the top down at the Canyonlands visitor center. It was a completely different experience driving up it. This tour was unquestionably a highlight of our trip to Arches and Canyonlands (and we had a LOT of great experiences). Navtec was highly professional and our guide Seth was exceptional. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Mike

Great 1/2 Day Canyonlands Tour - Excellent tour. Our guide, Ben, was knowledgable and made the trip memorable by providing insights about the history, inhabitants, and geology along the way. The views along the way were spectacular and the route went through the back country where only a few can go. The 4x4 was comfortable and the air conditioning was greatly appreciated given the hot temps while we were there. Definitely worth the money.
